I'm not talking about you. Or me, for that matter. I'm talking about the mass of people whose ad impressions pay for pretty much the entire internet right now. Like it or not, the kind of ads they will and won't put up with have a large impact on the sites you and I use every day.

You're implying the internet wouldn't exist without advertising, with is laughably false and exactly what the people with loud, shitty, privacy-invading ads want you to think.

Most of the sites that most people use are ad-supported to some extent. For better or worse, remove the ads and those sites go away. If you don't believe that's true, please provide a counterargument.
